"I tried different techniques during my career, but I especially fell in
love with painting with oil and pallette-knife. Every artwork is the
result of long painting process; every canvas is born during the
creative search; every painting is full of my inner world. Each of my
paintings brings different moods, colors and emotions. I love to express
the beauty, harmony and spirit of this world in my paintings."

The work on objects such as tables, lamps and
chairs started in 2005, and has been photographed on location all over
Norway. The objects are implemented mainly in scenes cast in
appropriate landscapes, and here they are subject to a certain carachter
carefully laying out a story. It is an approach to the balance between
nature and culture, but also a multiple reading of stories.

Jeremy Geddes is one of 50 artists featured in our upcoming publication entitled Metamorphosis2. "Many painters compose their work so the edges of the canvas are
as invisible as possible. All the points of interest are contained
within the middle portion of the image, the tonal and colour
construction is designed to keep the eye within this space, to keep them
viewing the painting for as long as possible.I don't really find that interesting, and I often go the other
route of putting the points of interest at the edge of a piece, and
creating a design that forces the eye off the edge of the canvas, I'm
interested in the tension that that can create."

Urban Interiorities is a project by Virginia Melnyk and Tiffany Dahlen, regent graduates of the University of Pennsylvania School of Design.
Working closely with Professor Ali Rahim, the students developed a “new
approach to the night club experience” through novel modeling and
rendering techniques, whereby generated surfaces—billowing, crenulated,
orchid-like—exert intense visualizations of sensations.

Designed for a site situated at the buffer space between the trendy, youth-driven culture of Harajuku and the haute-couture of Omontesando,
the night club merges both the youthful and luxurious into slick,
mediated spaces. The club’s equally diverse program consists of an entry
area, sushi restaurant, a sake bar, music lounge, and VIP rooms.

The volume of the club is a milky white frame with a curious mix of
areas on the interior: “sticky” and “sweet,” “pillowy,” and even
“fibrous.” Movement through the club yields extremes of achingly
synthetic notions of taste.

Aware of the ubiquity of swelling organic forms among students and
practices alike, Melnyk and Dahlen did not stop at these heavily modeled
zones. Instead, the sequence of programs is specific, provoking varying
states of sensation and subsequent emotional responses as one passes
through the interior spaces.

|The design created by "Trapped in Suburbia" won a bronze medal for "printed self promotion" in 2007 European Design Awards.

"We wanted to get our clients moving behind their desk, so we created this notebook with writing space on one side and side ball patterns on the other.Just screw a piece of paper to a ball and you can play soccer, or rugby, or throw a tennis ball in your waste basket."

A few years ago, French photographer Sacha Goldberger found his
91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and
depressed. To cheer her up, he suggested that they shoot a series of
outrageous photographs in unusual costumes, poses, and locations.
Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn't stop
smiling.
